(الْجَارُ الْقَرِيبُ أَحَقُّ بِالْهَدِيَّةِ)
(The close neighbor deserves gifts more)
Hadith 1936
وَعَن عَائِشَة قَالَت: يَا رَسُول الله إِن لِي جَارَيْنِ فَإِلَى أَيِّهِمَا أُهْدِي؟ قَالَ: «إِلَى أقربهما مِنْك بَابا» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ
A’isha said that when she told God’s messenger she had two neighbours and asked to which of them she should send a present, he replied, “To the one who lives nearer you.” Bukhari transmitted it.
